Artist
Miki
The work of Miki Gutiérrez, abstract in nature, arises from a free creative process, as he is constantly experimenting with matter, testing his ideas and his concepts of form. His work stems from his own ideas and from the influence of great figures such as Moore, Chillida, and certain elements of the abstract art of Pedro Coronel, and in general from everything he has admired in museums around the world. Little by little he found his own voices, assemblages driven by the attraction that jewelry holds for him and, above all, by the infinite and universal referent of the circle, as beginning and end, as eternity and as life.
Miki Gutiérrez moves forward by working his models in clay and then bringing them to take shape in bronze. His insistence is on finding his own concepts and his own synthesis, as well as his personal voice, so that it may be captured at a point of harmony of form. Miki plays with the boundaries of empty space, with volume, with movement; he seems to strive to make visible the sense of rhythm and the unity of the composition. Creative spontaneity is taken to the utmost; the visual is his interest and his guide.
The titles he gives his works are incidental, since they do not aim to establish any concept; he seeks to set them apart from the conventional and, although he strips all solemnity from his work, he remains reflective and attentive to the commitment of creating.
Basic forms, assemblages, concavities, roundnesses and polished surfaces invite us to understand a world that, in the face of chaos, reveals order and simplicity. In this short career, day by day he has staked everything on his work, as if in an eagerness to recover lost time, or rather in a desire to capture time and the meaning of life in his work.
